New replacement starting item - Canteen

[Old Crow]

Replace the two starting jars of water with a canteen. Give that canteen a cap of how much it can hold, but it can ONLY hold clean water.

We did talk about canteens and filling canteens from game world water sources as well as the dew collector. I'd just balk at the idea of a "Vault 13" type canteen. There would still need to be a way to gather and transport water for cooking and crafting, though. I'm not sure canteens fill the bill. Buckets would be just fine by me. They're already in the game and I get the impression practically no one uses them, at least consistently.

I'll die on the "jar crafting should not be coming back, but give the player a canteen" hill. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the reintroduction to jars. On paper, I don't like it, but I'll obviously wait to see how it plays first.

The canteen idea seems like it would solve a lot of issues. No more surplus of empty jars, but the player can still collect water from various sources. You could even have different tiers of canteens, from primitive ones that hold 2-3 units all the way to something like a camelback that holds 10 units.
